102 Xiyue High School 23
◎Classroom 404◎
Sang Mian couldn't see anymore. She sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. She had been blind with her left eye to begin with, but now it was better. She couldn't see with both eyes and didn't know if she could recover after the game ended.
Xia Qing lowered her head and bit her lip. It was all her fault. If she hadn't insisted on going to the toilet, she wouldn't have met the Pen Fairy, and Sister Sang wouldn't be blind. The elimination round had only been over for half a day. How would she spend the next half day?
Sensing Xia Qing's depressed mood, Sang Mian rubbed her head and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't blame you. The others committed suicide, but I am blind. The situation has improved a lot, and these are all arranged by the Pen Fairy. I would be blind without you."
Bai Tang sighed softly: "Indeed, today's elimination match is very difficult."
Lin Qiu looked at Sang Mian and wanted to say something but held it back. The atmosphere in the dormitory became increasingly depressing. A group of players whose companions had died were so scared that they said goodbye to everyone and quit the game.
Since she couldn't see Sang Mian, she simply closed her eyes and thought about all the strange things that happened in the morning. Everyone's death was very strange, but when she thought about it carefully, there was nothing in common! Unless it was walking or running, which everyone would do.
So she concluded that the Pen Fairy killed people indiscriminately.
Sang Mian suddenly figured it out. It was just indiscriminate killing! The Pen Fairy used the game's mechanism to hide around them. As long as the Pen Fairy wanted, anyone could die in the next second.
She opened her eyes, and there was still bottomless darkness in front of her. Sang Mian shared her thoughts with everyone, and after they listened, the dormitory fell into deathly silence again.
Zhou Jian woke up from his coma early in the morning. He lay flat on the bed and said calmly, "Although I agree that the Pen Fairy kills people indiscriminately, if she kills people indiscriminately, why does she tell us about the act of death? She even circled the act of death with letters. What meaning do the letters have to us?"
The advantage of weird games has always been weirdness, but there is definitely no dead end. Since the letters are circled, there must be a reason for their existence.
An idea suddenly occurred to Sang Mian: "Could it be that all of us committed dangerous acts in the classroom?" She shook her head again: "No, there are also people from the Eternal Night Cult. Did any of them die?"
Since leaving classroom 404, they haven't seen any players from the Eternal Night Cult, and they don't know if anyone has died. They need to confirm this if they want to know whether the Pen Fairy kills indiscriminately.
After listening to this, Chu Huang stood up and said resolutely: "I will go to them to find out the situation."
Sang Mian: "No, if something happens to you, no one will be able to save you in time."
Chu Huang made up his mind: "It doesn't matter. All four of us are alive. We will take care of each other and return immediately if there is any danger."
Sang Mian hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Under the current circumstances, Chu Huang's team was indeed the most suitable to go out for investigation. She herself was blind, Zhou Jianyi was like a time bomb, and Lin Qiu's team had only three people, so none of them were suitable to go out.
Lin Qiu's eyes were deep. "Be careful, I hope you come back alive." Although they belonged to different guilds, her words were sincere.
Chu Huang led his team out of the dormitory amid everyone's expectant gazes.
The players who stayed in the dormitory snuggled together, holding hands and not daring to relax for a moment. Fortunately, no accidents occurred during the waiting time, and an hour later Chu, Huang and the other three returned to the dormitory safely.
His face was grim, and he spoke out his findings in a hurry as soon as he entered the room: "All three teams of the Eternal Night Cult survived, and no one died."
Lin Qiu raised his head suddenly: "Why!"
"Let alone death, they are not even afraid." Chu Huang was panting because of running: "Damn, they are still playing Landlord! If you don't know, you would think they are on vacation! Those people are so hateful!"
Lin Qiu: "Did they tell you why you're not afraid?"
Chu Huang rolled his eyes at her and said, "How is that possible? The Eternal Night Cult has always been a solitary organization and never shares important information with other guilds. You haven't known this after entering this strange game for so long?"
The Cult of Eternal Night always puts their own interests first, and when faced with a threat to their own safety, they will even use other players as shields, playing the role of villains to the fullest. You can forget about counting on them, and you should be thankful if they don't stab you in the back.
"It doesn't matter. At least we know that the Pen Fairy doesn't kill people indiscriminately. As long as it doesn't kill people indiscriminately, there must be a way out!" Sang Mian smiled slightly: "Next, we should talk to the Pen Fairy alone."
"Go talk to the Pen Fairy alone?!" Chu Huang suspected that he had heard it wrong. How could her brain circuit be so strange? She couldn't hide from it, but she still wanted to find the Pen Fairy?
Bai Tang helped Sang Mian stand up and said calmly, "Good idea. Since there are so few clues, why not just look for the Pen Fairy?"
Xia Qing rubbed his hands: "There is no time to lose, let's go now!"
Chu Huang: "?" Are the three of them mentally ill? He quickly blocked the dormitory door, "Sisters! Think twice! Let's not go and die, okay?"
Sang Mian didn't understand: "We are not going to die by looking for the Pen Fairy, why are you so nervous?"
Lin Qiu's brain was quick, she understood, but she was still shocked: "You want to play the Pen Fairy game again?"
Sang Mian: "I didn't send the Pen Fairy away this morning, so I'll play it again and send the Pen Fairy away at the same time."
Lin Qiu: "Aren't you afraid?"
Sang Mian shrugged and asked, "Are you afraid that you can survive?"
Being afraid will not keep you alive, but being brave and positive can keep you alive. Sang Mian knows this truth very well.
Lin Qiu was silent for two seconds. After looking up again, she said firmly: "I will go with you."
"How can you not take me with you when you have fun?" Zhou Jianyi on the bed suddenly spoke up, with a playful smile on his face: "Brother, untie me, I want to go too."
Zhou Jia pursed his lips and said, "Stop making trouble."
Zhou Jianyi chuckled: "Brother, even if I really want to, the rope can't hold me back."
Zhou Jiayi: "..." Excuse me, can I hit my brother now? As an older brother, it's not too much for him to hit his younger brother, right? No one objects, right? It's normal to beat a child who has been raised since childhood, right?
No matter how much he thought in his mind, his body was not as honest as his own, so he obediently untied his brother.
After being untied, Zhou Jianyi stretched lazily and said in a rising tone: "Thank you, brother~"
Everyone looked at Chu Huang.
Chu Huang: "...Um...How about taking me with you?"
Thirteen people walked towards the teaching building. Sang Mian held Bai Tang on her left hand and Xia Qing on her right hand. The two of them led Sang Mian towards the destination. Blindness was not as hard as she imagined, but because she could not see, her center of gravity was unstable and the passage of time became blurred.
Along the way, Sang Mian asked several times where they were, and only after the fifth time did they reach the teaching building.
Bai Tang said considerately: "There are stairs ahead, lift your feet."
After walking the long four floors, Sang Mian let out a long sigh.
The temperature on the fourth floor was very low, and black fog came out of classroom 404 and spread in all directions.
"Why is there fog?" Bai Tang instinctively sensed the danger. There were no dark rooms in the corridor in the morning, but half a day later the 4th floor was full of black fog, and he could only vaguely see the location of the classroom.
And she felt that the black fog was getting thicker and thicker.
Zhou Jiayi guessed: "Maybe we didn't send the Pen Fairy away."
There was endless darkness in Sang Mian's eyes. She only felt a physical chill about the abnormality on the fourth floor. After thinking carefully, she said, "I think the reason for the black fog is that the Pen Fairy doesn't want us to enter the classroom. She wants to scare us."
Zhou Jian smiled and curved his eyes: "Then we should go in and take a look! The things that the Pen Fairy doesn't want us to see must be very important, right?"
Lin Qiu: "Then let's go."
The dark room in front of him made Chu Huang shrink for two seconds subconsciously. His little action was ridiculed by Lin Qiu: "You are the vice president after all, look at you, you are so cowardly."
Chu Huang was angry: "Who are you calling a coward? I, Chu Huang, have never been a coward in my life!"
Lin Qiu raised his eyebrows: "Then you go in front?"
Chu Huang: "...it would be better for everyone to go together."
"Tsk tsk." Lin Qiu shook his head and sneered: "I don't even want to talk about you."
After reaching the 4th floor, Sang Mian walked by herself, close to the wall. No one could see her clearly and there was no point in asking for support. She would become a burden instead. Xia Qing and Bai Tang persuaded her and then let her go, because classroom 404 was right in front of her.
The distance of thirty meters has never seemed so long. Everyone was highly focused and on guard against the appearance of the Pen Fairy at all times.
The closer they got to classroom 404, the thicker the fog became. They could no longer see each other, so in order to avoid any accidents, they walked into classroom 404 hand in hand.
"Mianmian, hold my hand." Bai Tang's calm voice sounded beside him.
Sang Mian put her hand into Bai Tang's palm. His slender and powerful palm wrapped around her hand. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good to have you by my side! It's just that your hands are a little cold. You should wear more clothes next time."
Bai Tang said faintly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Two minutes later, everyone entered classroom 404. After entering the classroom, everything was clear. Chu Huang sighed, "There is so much fog outside, but there is nothing in the classroom. The ability of the pen fairy is not enough."
"The pen fairy props are on the ground!" Chu Huang had sharp eyes and saw paper and pen in the messy classroom at a glance.
"Sister Sang, do you want to play the game yourself?" Xia Qing turned her head to look for Sang Mian. She looked around, but there was no trace of Sang Mian among the dozen people. She asked in confusion, "Where is Sister Sang?"
Bai Tang frowned: "Weren't you next to Mian Mian just now?"
"Ah!" Xia Qing opened her mouth wide: "How is it possible? I was holding your and Lin Qiu's hands. Weren't you holding Sister Sang's?"
Bai Tang retorted: "I pulled you and Zhou Jianyi, Sister Sang was not next to me."
Xia Qing was confused: "Whose hand did Sister Sang hold?"
The two of them looked at everyone, and everyone said that none of them had ever held Sang Mian's hand. Then everyone turned classroom 404 upside down but couldn't find Sang Mian.
Xia Qing collapsed and held her head in her hands: "Sister Sang disappeared out of thin air? She was clearly among us! Even if the fog was thick, she could follow us into the classroom, how could she disappear!"
She couldn't accept the fact that Sang Mian was missing, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Sister Tangtang, what should I do! Sister Sang is gone!"
Bai Tang bit her lip, her mind went blank, "Is there a possibility that Mianmian didn't enter the classroom at all?" After thinking about it, the most reasonable possibility was that she didn't enter the classroom. Mianmian's eyes were blind, and it was also possible that she didn't hold everyone's hands and walked in the wrong direction.
Xia Qing wiped away her tears: "Then let's go find her now."
*
Sang Mian walked in the fog for a long time. She shook Bai Tang’s hand: "Tangtang, haven’t we reached classroom 404 yet? Did we go the wrong way?" She remembered that the classroom was not far away, so how could it take so long to walk?
Bai Tang said in a low voice: "We are in the right place, we are almost there."
Sang Mian was stunned, and a chill spread in her heart.
Something was wrong. She suddenly realized that there were only her and Bai Tang's footsteps in the corridor, and no one else could make a sound.
"Tangtang, where is Xia Qing? I want to hold Xia Qing's hand." Sang Mian stopped and said this calmly.
Bai Tang also stopped and said, "Xia Qing is in front. You can hold her hand if you take two steps forward."
“Really?” Sang Mian calmly summoned the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, “Forget it, Tangtang, come closer to me. I’m scared.”
